Fortress Britain: All the Invasions and Incursions Since 1066

This comprehensive history explores the often-overlooked story of British resistance to foreign invasion, from the early Middle Ages to the present day. From the surprise alliance between Danes and French in 1193 to the failed German occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II, Ian Hernon brings to life a dramatic narrative of survival against the odds.

With a focus on key events and locations, this book provides a fresh perspective on Britain's history, shedding light on lesser-known episodes such as the bloodless invasion of 1688 and the threat of Operation Sealion. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in British history and military strategy, Fortress Britain is an engaging and informative account of one of the most resilient nations in European history.
